INTRODUCING VEXILLIUM - THE ALL-IN-ONE SKIN FOR FM2014 and FMC2014
Derived from the word 'vexillum' which means banner in Latin, this dark skin will suit any player whether you want the full experience in the original game or a more laid-back casual game using Football Manager Classic. This skin supports both the in-game editor and instant results button as well as user backgrounds. While I'm looking into creating an installer .exe for it this has yet to happen and will be included as an option in an upcoming update. This is the first major release so I expect to see a few bugs somewhere along the line (although I have stress-tested this as much as possible to minimise this possibility) Extra panels will be included in an upcoming update also although you can still manually install the option to have the team logo in the background in both small and stretched flavours.
INSTALLATION:
For FM Edition:
Extract the vexillium and vexillium widgets folder to:
C:/Users/<yourusername>/My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2014/skins
If this folder does not exist, create it.
For FMC Edition:
Extract the vexillium and vexillium widgets folder to:
C:/Users/<yourusername>/My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2014/skins
If this folder does not exist, create it.
For Both:
Extract the vexillium, vexilliumfmc and vexillium widgets folder to:
C:/Users/<yourusername>/My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2014/skins
If this folder does not exist, create it.
